My last post from kgp

Well... this is kinda it. Four years of partying is nearly over. It seems weirdly normal, like it is not even real that I am probably never going to come back to kgp in my capacity as a student. kgp gave me so many things I will never forget. The main problem is most of these thoughts are buried so deep in emotion that they can't be expressed here. So, 20-year-older-me: don't be disappointed that you can't use this page to reminisce about your alma mater - you couldn't have done it anyway. I'll never forget you - not the sunlit days, nor the moonlit nights.

How to make Vista style icons

Normally I don't blog just to link to another page, but this tutorial on Creating a Vista Style button template is just so compelling, that I gave in. Here is a sample of what you can make. I am still working on a rounded highlight. (I used Photoshop CS3, by the way)

Keyboard shortcuts

I accidentally found a new keyboard shortcut for Windows Explorer on Windows Vista today. ALT+CTRL+TAB. It opens a persistent 'switch application' panel, that doesn't go away till you choose an icon and press space, enter or click on it. Talking of application switching keyboard shortcuts, it ALT+TAB does not work for you because of it algorithm of choosing the most recent window first, you can always use ALT+ESC to cycle through all open windows. ALT+ESC will not automatically restore minimised windows till you hit SPACE or ENTER.
